SIDON, Lebanon: The Lebanese Army raided a "compound" in the southern city of Sidon, arresting 11 Syrians, a security source told The Daily Star.

A Military Intelligence unit conducted the raid on the Alayli compound.

The individuals were detained for not possessing proper entry or residency documentation.

The raid was part of a recent crackdown on unregistered or undocumented refugees in Lebanon. A similar raid was carried out on Monday in Sidon. Seven Syrians were arrested for improper documentation and allegedly inciting civil strife.
